主動式相位陣列雷達使用基頻相位延遲

Abstract

傳統軍事雷達為機械式，透過旋轉天線的方式來接收不同方向的訊號，借此偵察物體方向與速度，此一方法耗時太長的偵測時間，對於軍事來說時間非常重要，此法被漸漸遺棄。新的方法為電子式雷達，其中最普遍的為相位陣列天線構成的雷達，透過電路的運作，可調整接收方向的增益，藉此接收固定方向的訊號，比起機械式的快了很多。此篇論文將介紹一個操作在35GHz的65奈米CMOS四通道可延展相位陣列接收機。此相位陣列接收機採用直接降頻的架構，並且使用基頻相位延遲。本地震盪器採用駐波震盪器(SWO) 以減少四通道的繞線複雜度。每一通有51dB的增益、7.3dB的雜訊指數及8dBm的輸出交調節取點。

In convention, the military radar is mechanical, it receives the signal by rotating the antenna. The motion costs long time. Since the speed of detecting is very important in military, the method is left gradually. Electronic radar is presented, the phased array is the popular one. It receives signal at unique direction with some gain by circuits. Without rotating, it is faster than the conventional radar. This paper will introduce a 35 GHz 65nm CMOS scalable four-element phased array. The phased array receiver utilizes a homodyne topology and locate the phase shifter in baseband. The system also uses direct-coupled standing wave oscillator array to simplify the LO routing. Single receiver chain has 51 dB power gain, a noise figure of 7.3 dB and an OIP3 of 8dBm.
